The Divine Frenzy-Hindu Myths and Rituals of Kerala

by Pepita Seth

Publisher's Description

"Nature has always played a large part in the spiritual and cerebral landscape of Kerala. This book is the first document of its people's perception of Nature's power and mystery. Hinduism here worships the same deities as the rest of India; it is her relationship to these deities that sets Kerala apart. 'The Divine Frenzy' charts the way in which the people of this region fuse with their land and their gods - allowing the reader to observe how both have been sublimely understood.
